The Fetish Box Part III: What Remainsby Nicole CamdenPublished by Pocket Star81 pagesGenre: erotica, mysteryThanks to edelweiss for the preview3 / 5

The three Fetish Box books are only about 75 pages each, which makes you wonder why they were split up into a trilogy of novellas. That question becomes even more confounding because of the third and (mercifully) last book in the series.

Mary and John continue their relationship, each having fallen in love with the other. Max still circles around, and Mary is still attracted to him. The sex shop remains under siege, and Mary continues to learn about the woman who was her mother.

Our merry trio needs to discover who is behind the attacks on the shop, as John and Mary’s feelings for each other continues to grow.

The problem with these three books is that independently, they are so slight as to be dull. You can’t find a rhythm reading just one, and the plot is so insignificant as to render it worthless. Together, though, they do make for a more interesting reading experience. That isn’t to say that they are all that good; they aren’t, really. The sex scenes are nicely written, but the characters don’t hold up. There are too many questions, beginning with why Mary is so quick to have sex when she comes to town. Nor do we really get a full picture of Mary’s mother.
